We have known a few contracts let under theso circumstances, and tho result was, that thoy wore taken about one third high er, than they were for ccsh. The ditching that has been done in our county is of incalculable value, ro't only to lands which have been ditched, but to large quantities of low...

Nobility. " If by nobility vro understand thai noblc tiesa ör dignity of character which entitles its possfSior tö a distinguished eminence in the esteem and effections ot his feilow men, it ia very evident that the title does ot truly belong to every one who claims it. Suppose a class of persons to bo de ceased ironj tho noblest ancestry, and gif ted by a copious profusiou.of wealth and admitted raoieover to occupy tho highest places of honor artd trust in tho communi ty. Does all this give .thera any special claim to public esteem.? In themselves considered, theso things .certainly do not prove them to ba a whit mere praisworthy than others who arc ia the gifts of Provi dence, far le33 favored. Those gifts of Providence may indicate a sphero of great er responsibility, but the question, as to merit, is, how have their responsibilities been met, and what improvement have thev made of their distinguishe J advantages for serving their generation.

Senatorial Election; - Rumor says that the Republican' Sena tors, tho night before the meeting of the Legislature, took an oath that they t uld not vote, " to bring on the election during tho present session. If this bo true, they hnve taken three oaths, at least; ono irlien they were admitted into the K. N.

It is not probable that there will be an election this session unless they consider their la3t oath the most bind j"o (which is not likely to be the case,) or unless some of the Republicans should be prevented by sickness or Rome other cause from attending, when the question comes tp.
